Pecan Pie Cheesecake Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Blend cream cheese, butter, and sugar until fluffy.
• 2. Add vanilla and egg. Mix until well blended.
• 3. Add flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until well combined. Refrigerate while making pecan pie filling.
• 4. In a medium saucepan on medium heat mix ingredients for pecan pie filling until thick and bubbly.
• 5. The color will darken to a caramel color.
• 6. Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough into a ball.
• 7. Drop in graham cracker crumbs and cover.
• 8. Place on baking sheet and press in the center of cookie dough with the bottom of a round 1 Tablespoon measuring spoon.
• 9. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
• 10. Remove and allow cookies to cool on a wire rack until room temperature. Fill the top of cookie with a scant 1 tablespoon of filling and top with a toasted pecan.
• 11. Store in a plastic container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Steps:

• For the crust: Position a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 325 degrees F. Butter the inside of the springform pan.
• Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground. Add the butter, sugar and salt, and pulse until the mixture comes together and holds its shape when squeezed. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, and press it into the bottom to make an even layer. Bake until the crust is just firm, about 10 minutes. Remove and let cool completely. Place the pan on a large piece of foil, and fold the foil up the sides of the pan. (This helps seal the pan, to keep water out while baking.)
• For the filling: Wipe out the food processor. Pulse the cream cheese, sugar and sour cream until completely smooth, without any lumps, scraping down the sides of the bowl a few times. Add the eggs and vanilla, and pulse until incorporated. Pour the filling into the crust, and set the pan inside a roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with enough hot water to go halfway up the sides of the springform pan (but not above the foil).
• Bake the cheesecake until the edge is set but the center jiggles slightly (when you gently shake the pan, the cheesecake should move in a cohesive wave motion), 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes. Turn the oven off, and open the door for a few seconds to let out some heat. Close the door, and let the cheesecake sit in the oven until cooked completely through, 1 hour more.
• Transfer the springform pan to a cooling rack. Run a knife around the edge, and let the cheesecake cool to room temperature. Wrap and refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days.
• For the topping: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pecans out on a baking sheet, and bake until they turn a few shades darker and are nicely toasted, about 15 minutes. Let cool, then halve each pecan lengthwise.
• Meanwhile, heat the cream, butter, corn syrup, vanilla and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat until just steaming. Reduce the heat to low to keep the cream mixture warm.
• Cook the sugar in an even layer in a medium skillet over medium heat, without stirring, until it begins to melt. Gently swirl the pan as needed as the sugar continues to melt and begins to caramelize and turn lightly golden in spots. Keep cooking and swirling until the caramel is a uniform deep amber. Remove from the heat, and slowly whisk in the warm cream mixture (watch out for ferocious bubbles). Return the caramel sauce to medium heat, and cook to reduce slightly, about 2 minutes. Let cool. To see if the sauce is ready for topping the cheesecake, dip a spoon into it and let the sauce drop off; it's ready if it easily and slowly drips off the spoon. (The sauce can be refrigerated up to 2 days; reheat in the microwave.)
• To assemble: Spoon the sauce into the center of the cheesecake, and let it ooze to the edge. If needed, swirl the sauce with the back of a spoon to help it along. Sprinkle the pecans in a generous layer over the sauce. The cheesecake can now be served or refrigerated for up to 4 hours.
• To slice the cake, dip a sharp, heavy knife into warm water, wipe the knife dry and slice into the cake. Wipe the knife clean and repeat.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F (170°C).
• In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir to combine.
• Pour the mixture into a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan and press it evenly into the bottom and halfway up the sides. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill.
• In a large bowl add the cream cheese, sugar, and milk. With a hand mixer, beat until fluffy and fully incorporated.
• Add in the sour cream, flour, 2 teaspoons of the bourbon, and the two eggs and gently continue to mix until the cream cheese filling is smooth.
• Pour the mixture into the springform pan with the graham cracker crust and bake for 1 hour, or until the cheesecake no longer jiggles.
• While the cheesecake is cooking, prepare the stove-top pecan pie filling.
• In a bowl combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt, stir together and pour into a medium saucepan on low heat.
• Pour in the egg yolks, maple syrup, and warm cream and whisk until smooth.
• Cook on low heat until the mixture thickens like a pudding, 5-10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Stir in the cold butter and the final teaspoon of bourbon and whisk until fully emulsified. The pudding-like mixture should be around room temperature.
• Fold in the roasted, chopped pecans and then pour the mixture over the cooked cheesecake and spread it out as an even layer.
• If you like, sprinkle with extra chopped pecans or garnish with whole pecans.
• Let the cheesecake chill in the refrigerator until completely set.
• Slice and serve cold or at room temperature.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and salt for pie together in a bowl until creamy. Spread evenly over the bottom of the unbaked pie crust, then sprinkle pecans evenly over top.
• Combine corn syrup, eggs, sugar, and vanilla for topping together in a bowl. Beat until smooth. Pour over pecan layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pecan layer is golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Serve slightly warm.
